Spotify is an extremely popular music streaming service with over 286 million monthly active users. The app supports a dual revenue model: ad-based and subscription-based. The company is now offering a three-month benefit across all of its premium plans in India.
Free users who have never had a Spotify Premium subscription are being offered a complimentary three-month subscription on all Premium plans. Whereas, for users who have earlier had an active Premium plan or are currently on one, the company is offering a three-month subscription at the cost of one month. The offer is valid until June 30.
